Fooled by Professional Sprlnters the
 Spectators Become a Rowling Mob
 And Destroy Much Property.
 LONDON, Sept. 19.-Neither Gent nor Hutchins, who were extensively advertised to run 120 yards foot race at Lilley Bridge to- day for the championship of the world for e200, appeared on the track at all. Thou sands of spectators had assembled and paid to witness the announced contest. When the crowds were made aware of the situation they were disgusted and soon took revenge in riot. They attacked the fences, railings and buildings on the grounds and burned several of the latter to the ground.
 The mob partly demolished two grand stands, the dancing pavilion and the large assembly hall and set fire to the debris they collected, forming six large bonfres. They then set fire to the wooden railings along the railway and nearly set fire to the Brompton station. They next footed the liquor saloons in the vicinity and bombarded the windows and the policemen and fremen with full and empty bottles. The fremen played the ho SC on the rioters, but in vain. After holding possession for three hours the mob wes die- persed, when the police, strongly reinforced, arrested a number of the rioters. A railroad inspector after the struggle with the mob dropped dead from the effects of the goth Gant The .1d damage
  had appeared on the track in splendid condi- ton. It has transpired that Gent failed at private trial this morning and that his back CTS at the last moment forbade his running, giving Hutchins the stakes but saving their heavy bets. The owners of the grounds re- fused to return the entrance money and the people were doubly enraged. Many of the people were from the provinces.

 tennis tournament of the Springfield Tennis company was started to-day. There were
 twelve entries in the singles and eight in the doubles. The courts had been put in the
 best possible condition and seats on mating

Shaw, of Boston, and Pad dock, of Trinity college, were the first to make trial of strength. The first set went easily to Shaw inside of twenty minutes, 6-1. The second began with more spirit. When the games stood three-all the set had to be postponed till tomorrow, when it will be the first thing in order. Brinley, of Trinity col lege, and Norman, of Boston, won by default as Bowers and Trevor of Cooperstown, N .Y., did not appear.

The first went to Ship man, 9-7, the second to Gillette, 7:5; the third will be played tomorrow.
 The doubles began with match between Paddock and Wright and Norton and Steb- bins. The latter played very raggedly in comparison with the strong play of the former. who won the match, GO, 6-1.

Tomorrow will be played the rest of the singles, the doubles will be continued and Slocum and Petit will play an exhibition match.
 THE RIOT AT mITCHELsTOWN. Timothy Harrington DenOunces Ser
 geant Kirwan as a Murderer.
 DUBLIN, Sept. 19.-At Mitchelstown to- day the coroner resumed his inquest over the bodies of those slain during the recent conflict between the police and people. Ser geant Kirwan of the constabulary deposed that buckshot was fired from the barracks windows solely to defend the policemen who were then running to endeavor to get into the barracks to escape the stones which were coming thick and fast upon them. When the police reached the barracks door they could not get in, the door being blocked. He then ordered the firing, seeing that his own life and the lives of the constables were en- dangered. Since he became policeman his life was never before in more danger. After two rounds of buckshot had been fired there was one round of ball cartridge fired. He was sure that the shots struck somebody. Mir. Timothy Harrington, secretary of the Irish National league, in the course of the ex- animation denounced the witness mur- derer. The crown counsel protested against the of such language and MT. Harrington answered. "The jury will also call him g rnnrdarar D

THAT GYPSY BABY.
One or the Women Produces Proof
that the Child is Her Own.

BATH, July 22.-The Times says the gyp-
sizes who had trouble in Cape Elizabeth last
week, concerning child which is with them,
as it was claimed the child was stolen from
town in New Hampshire, arrived in Bruns-
wick the other day, and the mother went to
Justice Henry Ragot and produced papers
signed by the Mayor and priest of that city,
where the child was born in August. 1884.
The papers bore the official SEALS Mr.. Ra-
got was confident that the papers were cor
rect and he translated them and gave them
a copy of them in English for them to use in
case of any difficulty which might happen in
the future in regard to the child. He talked
to the little child, a boy, in both French and
English; the little fellow could talk a little
French but no English. The parents had
not recovered from the scare they received
at the Cape when they thought they were to
lose their child. The mother carried re-
yolver which she said she would use in case
an attempt was made to take the child away
from her. The gypsies passed the day
around town giving exhibitions with the
dancing monkey. In the afternoon they
went to Mr.. Ragot and offered him some
money which they had collected during the
day, which he did not take. They were
greatly pleased withhis kindness to them.
